POSITIVES
OF TODAY
A
s we move into December 2025, the
UK property market is showing
some encouraging signs for those
selling or letting, and for investors looking
ahead. While headwinds remain, several
structural and recent developments offer
opportunity and reassurance.
PRICE STABILITY AND MODEST
GROWTH
Contrary to forecasts of sharp falls, house
prices have held up reasonably well.
According to the Nationwide Building
Society the average UK home price rose by
3.9% in the year to March 2025, remaining
unchanged from February. The average
price at that time was £271,316. What this
means for sellers and landlords is that their
asset base remains reasonably robust. There
is not the sharp decline many feared.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND STILL IN
IMBALANCE
A key underpinning of the market remains
the mismatch between available homes
and demand. While exact data vary,
conversations with agents and insights
from research suggest that new build
completions and existing stock listings
remain comparatively limited relative to
underlying demand, especially in rental
markets. This helps maintain baseline values
and supports occupancy and yields for
landlords.
BORROWING CONDITIONS AND
INVESTMENT SENTIMENT
Although mortgage rates remain elevated
compared to the low rate era, there are
signs of improvement in investor and buyer
sentiment. Forecasts from the Savills
property company anticipate house price
growth of 24.5% over the next five years up
to 2029. It is important to note that growth
is forecast to be very modest in 2025; just
1.0% by Savills’ estimate. For landlords
